Case No. 11-cv-04577 CW (NC)
ORDER DENYING CROMBIE’S
REQUEST TO EXTEND DISCOVERY
DEADLINE

v.
Re: Dkt. No. 160
PARON CAPITAL MANAGEMENT,
LLC. and JAMES D. CROMBIE,
Defendants.

18
19

The parties filed a joint statement in which Crombie requests that the deadline for fact

20

discovery, which is July 13, 2012, be extended to September 20, 2012, for the limited purpose of

21

deposing nonparty Michael Glennan. Crombie asserts that Glennan’s deposition “was delayed

22

due to Crombie’s travel and financial constraints.” Dkt. No. 160 at 1. The CFTC does not take a

23

position on the motion, but it notes that Glennan’s deposition has been scheduled and canceled

24

twice and that it “incurred costs” as a result of the second cancellation. Id. at 2. Paron opposes

25

the motion, but it provides no reasoning for its opposition.

26

As Crombie does not provide a justification for having scheduled and canceled Glennan’s

27

deposition twice before, and because Crombie does not identify any substantial harm or prejudice

28

that he would suffer if the court does not grant his request, Crombie’s request is DENIED.
